When replacing the turbocharger, it is mandatory that both oil filters be replaced and that the engine oil be changed. Failure of the turbocharger could have caused exhaustcarbon contamination of the engine oil, thereby reducing the lubricating and cleansing ability of the filters and oil.


CAUTION

Premature turbocharger bearing failure may result if oil and filters are not changed.
